I do not normally read self-help books because I mostly don't find them to be helpful. I especially get turned off by the ones with the author on the cover. It just comes across as rather egotistical to me. But in fairness, I did read the first look to give this one a try. Clearly the author has an interesting life and background. However, I knew from the first chapter this book isn't for me. I just can't relate to this one as I don't suffer from anxiety. I might enjoy this one better had it been a memoir than a self-help book. But as is, this is a hard pass for me.
